Phase One offers FIVE acres of off-leash fun for dogs to run, play and socialize, a separate area for small/shy dogs, a bench, trash cans, custom bag dispensers (feel free to donate bags to keep them filled), and a BEAUTIFUL view of the Rocky Mountains!!!

We have 15 acres left to develop…

The West Arvada Dog Park is a “Special Use” park.  There are no city funds or tax dollars to pay for improvements or additions to this park.  All donations are tax deductible.  Checks are payable to Jeffco Open Space Foundation and may be mailed to Friends of the West Arvada Dog Park, c/o Arvada Parks, Golf and Hospitality Department, 8101 Ralston Road, Arvada, CO  80002.

Aurora

Cherry Creek Off-Leash Area
Parker Rd. & Orchard Rd. Aurora, Colorado
Though known primarily for its reservoir, Cherry Creek State Park rates high among the canine set because of the 60-acre off-leash dog area at the southern end of the park. To reach this area, drive south on the main park road from the east entrance station and park in the lower parking lot for the 12 Mile House group picnic site. You’ll need to keep your dog leashed for about the first 500 yards, until you pass the dog-area boundary sign.

You can also access the off-leash area by heading west on Orchard Avenue, off Parker Road, for about a half block to a small parking area (there’s a self-service fee station). The dog area consists mainly of open grassland traversed by a wide gravel trail; water-loving hounds will seek out the small creek.
$6 parking fee ($53 for a yearly pass)
